How to Make and Install a Window Curtain
If you have basic sewing knowledge and access to a sewing machine, you can make a simple curtain in a short
amount of time. Curtains make a big difference in the "look" of a room, adding color and style to your decor.
Once the curtain is made, it's easy to hang it just where you want it. With these simple step-by-step
instructions, you can: (1) measure your window and purchase the appropriate type and amount of fabric; (2)
sew a simple curtain; and (3) install the curtain on your window.
Equipment and Supplies
As in any project, it helps to know what equipment and supplies you are going to need before you get started.
To make the curtain, you will need the following some equipment and supplies.
First, you'll need the following tools:
tape measure
paper and pencil
calculator
work table
iron and ironing board
Also, you'll need these sewing items:
sewing machine in good working order
scissors
pins
material
thread
fabric marker
To install a curtain inside the window frame, all you will need is a spring-tension curtain rod. To hang the
curtain on the wall outside of the window frame, you will need these items:
tape measure
pencil
cafe-style curtain rod and its brackets
screw driver
screws or molly bolts
drill
level
Preparing to Sew the Curtain
You're probably ready to start sewing right away, but there are some preliminary things you need to do first.
Note: Since the size of the window determines the amount of material you will need, measure the window
before you buy the material.
Before you can sit down at your sewing machine and begin to sew, you must:
1. Decide what type of curtain rod you want to use.
2. Measure the window.
3. Purchase the curtain fabric and rod.
4. Cut the curtain piece out of the fabric.
Deciding what type of curtain rod to use. A simple curtain can be hung with a cafe-style curtain rod or a spring-
tension rod. Mounting a spring-tension rod does not require any hardware and installs the curtain inside the
window frame. A cafe-style curtain rod must be hung with brackets that are affixed to the wall-side of the
window frame and hangs the curtain outside of the window frame, against the wall. So, before you go any
further, decide where on the window you want the curtain to hang and what kind of curtain rod you'll need to
do that.
Measuring the window. The measurements you take here will determine the success or failure of your curtain
making project. Remember the old saying: measure twice, cut once! Refer to the diagram below as you
measure your window in the following manner:
1. Get your pencil, paper, and measuring tape.
2. Decide how long or short you want the curtain to be.
3. Measure the width of the window. For a curtain that will fit inside the window frame, measure from
the inside of one corner to the inside of the other corner. F ...

You can make this copper-finish rustic cushion cover from easy to find materials.
I discovered this jute webbing tape while wandering around Bunnings a while back (Australian big box hardware). It’s used for tying up plants in the garden. I thought it would make something interesting if you used it for weaving. Then I discovered the idea had already been done very nicely by stylist Tara Dennis as a table runner, so I featured it in our newsletter.
To take the idea a step further, I tested out some copper fabric paint left over from the Cotton Muslin Scarf Kit. The results are quite appealing. It’s perfect for the beginner crafter because you really don’t need any special talent. The woven panel is attached to a basic cushion bought from a haberdashery store (Lincraft, Australia).
Give it a try!
Got jewelry? Keep your adornments orderly and in clear view with this simple to-sew hanging coordinator. What about making one for sewing accessories, as well? A young lady can never be overly organized!
A lanyard for your keys
Do you keep your keys on a lanyard? I started a couple of years ago when I was in and out of the car with a baby in a capsule and a small child. I needed two free hands and easy access to car and front door keys. The long length of lanyard could always be grabbed on the way out, then slung around my neck when shuffling between front door, car, pram, drop off point.
Even if you’re not juggling those things, I think it’s worth having keys at the ready when you’re getting in and out of your home or car. Less time spent rummaging through the dark bottomless pit of a handbag alone, the better.
However, fast forward a couple of years and I still seem to be sporting the same freebie lanyard with a logo of a football team. With red and white stripes, it clashes perfectly with most of my clothes. Nice accessory! (not).
Time for the “eye catching” lanyard to go and be replaced with something more appealing. Since tassels are the thing right now, they are the decorative detail to add to a key ring and then make a lanyard.
Making the Tassel
There are different way to tackle tassel-making depending upon whether you use thread or cut leather. For this tutorial I used the tassel making technique perfected here by Fall for DIY (blog) when they ran a “tassel happy challenge” on Instagram. I’ve used Francesca’s cardboard template design. It’s a bit like making a pom pom.
I’ve also played around with different styles for tying them together, embellishing (decorating) and attaching the tassel to a clip. Do the same and see what you prefer.
Enjoy having a smart tassel lanyard for your keys.
A note about materials
I bought some “D” ring clips from Lincraft (Haberdashery and Craft supplies in Australia) but you can easily use metal circle clips, or swivel hooks. I’ve re-used the swivel hooks from old promotional lanyards.
I also used a copper adhesive tape for effect on the tassel. My roll came from Japan, but you can buy copper and aluminium tape at hardware stores. Otherwise fabric tape is another option.
I’ve used mock-suede leather thonging I found from haberdashery supplies, but real leather thonging would be a nicer option.
HW in teams of 3 studentsAn oil remanufacturing company uses c.docxwellesleyterresa
HW in teams of 3 students
An oil remanufacturing company uses clay in its manufacturing process. This clay comes into the plant in 80-pound bags stacked 40 per pallet and 50 pallets per boxcar. The railroad spur comes into the plant property but your plant does not have a rail car siding. Two car loads per year are used. The union and the company agreed that the part time workers would be hired for one week, twice a year at the rate of $7.5 per hour to unload these cars. You feel that this is a bad job and no one should have to work this hard. You look into this project
1
Why is this done?
We need the clay, and the railroad is by far the cheapest way to transport it
What: 80pounds bags of clay=160,000 pound boxcar load
Where: from the boxcar in our yard to the storeroom, 300ft away
Who: 2 temporary workers
When: one week, twice a year
How: Present method: manually unload the pallets off the boxcar then move these pallets into the storeroom with the fork truck we already own
2
How much could you spend improving this job?
We spend a week, twice a year with 2 temporary workers at $7.5
4 weeks* 40 hours per week*7.5per hour = $1,200
3
Questions:
Should the current method stays the same?
Are there other alternatives?
Is the current method the cheapest in the long run?
How would you justify an expenditure over $3,000
What do you think about cumulative trauma disorders and work-related injuries?
4
Write a report with the answers to your questions.
Include figures, tables, and other sources of information to help justify the project and also answer the questions. You can certainly use the textbook to help you.
Include in your report a list of references and of course cite all your sources of information.
This work MUST be done in teams of 3 people or 2. No individual assignment will be accepted.

HW 5: Math 405. Due: beginning of class – Monday, 10 Oct 2016
1. Strogatz (1988). Consider lovers, Romeo and Juliet. Let:
R(t) = Romeo’s love/hate for Juliet at time t;
J(t) = Juliet’s love/hate for Romeo at time T;
where positive values of R(t), J(t), signify love, and negative values signify hate, at
a time t. Consider this model for a “fickle” lover, in which “the more Romeo loves
Juliet, the more she wants to run away and hide. But when Romeo gets discouraged
and backs off, Juliet begins to find him strangely attractive. Romeo, on the other
hand, tends to echo Juliet: he warms up when she loves him and grows cold when
she hates him.”
R′(t) = aJ,
J′(t) = −bR, (1)
where a,b > 0 .
(a) Rewrite (1) as a system.
(b) Find the fixed point(s).
(c) Find the eigenvalues.
(d) Find the eigenvectors.
(e) Write the general solution. Show that it can be written as a real-valued solution
like: [
R(t)
J(t)
]
=
{
cos(
√
ab t)
[
k1
√
a/b
k2
]
+ sin(
√
ab t)
[
k2

]}
(f) Show that the trajectories in phase space are ellipses, governed by the equation
R2
aC2
+
J2
bC2
= 1,
where C2 > 0 is an arbitrary constant.
(g) Classify the fixed point and its stability.
(h) In what direction do Romeo’s and Juliet’s feelings go around the ellipse?
(i) Discuss the possible outcome for different initial conditions of love/hate.
2. (Doug Wright, Drexel U.) Romeo’s best friend, Mercutio, doesn’t like Juliet’s fick-
leness and thinks that Romeo is too good for her. He has decided to try to break
them up for good. So, he has started telling Romeo how awful Juliet is. Romeo
trusts Mercutio, and so, his ardor for Juliet wanes a bit when Mercutio tells him
such things, though he still really likes Juliet. On the other hand, Juliet dislikes
1
Mercutio and the more he disapproves of her relationship with Romeo, the more
she likes Romeo. Let R and J be as before, and let M(t) be Mercutio’s disapproval
of Romeo and Juliet’s relationship at time t, with positive values of M signifying
disapproval. Then a model for this complicated saga is:
R′(t) = J − 2M,
J′(t) = −R + 4M,
M ′(t) = R + 4J (2)
(a) Rewrite (2) as a system.
(b) Find the fixed point(s).
(c) Find the eigenvalues.
(d) Without further calculation, describe what happens to Romeo and Juliet’s
relationship now. Does Mercutio’s tampering have the effect he wants? Do
Romeo and Juliet continue to oscillate between love and hate as before?
3. (Doug Wright, Drexel U.) So, now, it turns out that Mercutio has feelings for
Juliet. Let R(t) be Romeo’s love/hate for Juliet at time t, as before; JR(t) be
Juliet’s love/hate for Romeo at time t; M(t) be Mercutio’s love/hate for Juliet at
time t; and JM (t) be Juliet’s love/hate for Mercutio at time t.
The situation is that:
• Romeo still likes/dislikes Juliet more the more she likes/dislikes him;
• Romeo doesn’t know about the Mercutio/Juliet leg of the triangle, so his
feelings are unaffected by Mercutio’s feelings for Juliet and Juliet’s fe ...

RSA Encryption
In RSA:
– P = E (D(P)) = D(E(P)) (order of D/E does not matter)
– More precisely: P = E(kE, D(kD, P)) = D(kD, E(kE, P))
Encryption: C = Pe mod n KE = e
– n is the key length
– Note, P is turned into an integer using a padding
scheme
– Given C, it is very difficult to find P without knowing

Make, model and year Price
Toyota Corolla 2002 9350
Toyota Camry 2001 10500
Buick Lesabre 2001 8825
Honda Civic 2000 9215

Corolla to a Civic, and a Civic to a LeSabre. For any given year, you are willing to
pay $999 to move from any given car to the next preferred one. For example, if the
price of the Corolla is z, then you are willing to buy it rather than a Civic if the Civic
costs more than z−999 but prefer the civic if it costs less than this. For any given car,
you are willing to move to a model a year older if it is cheaper by at least $500. For
example, if the price of a 2003 Civic is x, then you are willing to buy it rather than a
2002 Civic, if the 2002 Civic costs more than x−500.

1 Introduction
We are all familiar with the general idea of uncertainty. We are uncertain
about tomorrow’s weather, about whether we will wake up with a headache
tomorrow morning, and about whether someone’s estimate of the labor re-
quired to repair our car is correct. Considerable effort is directed toward
coping with uncertainty. Some farmers have costly irrigation systems in or-
der to make output less dependent on variations in rainfall. And many of
us buy insurance of various sorts to limit our exposure to some kinds of un-
certainty. Moreover, there are government programs like disaster aid and
unemployment insurance that are intended to offset some of the effects of
uncertainty.
Here is an example of the kind of setting we will study. There are N
people labelled 1, 2, ...,N. Rainfall is uncertain and it can either be high or
low, just two possibilities. We denote the level of rainfall by s ∈ {H,L},
where we use the letter s as a shorthand for state or state-of-the-world and
where H stands for high and L for low. We suppose that each person has
some land that will without effort bear a crop of some amount of rice. The
size of the crop will depend on whether rainfall is high or low. For person n,
we denote the size of the rice crop by (wnH,wnL), where wns is the crop on
n’s land if the state is s. We assume that wns > 0, but, otherwise, make no
other special assumptions about it. In particular, we want to assume that
some land does better with high rainfall and other land does better with low
rainfall. If s = H, the total crop is
∑N
n=1 wnH, denoted WH; if s = L, t ...

3.1 Introduction
Learning Objective
Understand how Zara’s parent company Inditex leveraged a technology-enabled strategy to become the world’s largest fashion retailer.
Operating in the northern coastal city of La Coruña (or A Coruña in the local Galician language), Spanish entrepreneur Amancio Ortega was brainstorming names for his new shop and settled on “Zorba” after the classic movie Zorba the Greek. He simply thought it was “a nice name.” Unfortunately, there was a bar with the same name a few blocks away and the bar’s owner was worried patrons would be confused. The molds for the letters for Ortega’s shop had already been cast, so they played around with what they had and came up with “Zara.”[] As it turns out, for Zara it’s technology, not the name, that has made all the difference in its rise to dominate the decidedly ungeeky fashion industry.
Today, Zara is the game-changing crown jewel in the multibrand empire of Inditex Corporation (Industrias de Diseño Textil), the world’s largest pure-play fashion retailer and a firm that’s bigger than Gap, H&M, Topshop, and anyone else in the space. The firm’s supremacy is plotted and executed from “The Cube,” the gleaming, futuristic headquarters located in La Coruña’s Arteixo industrial area. The blend of technology-enabled strategy that Zara has unleashed seems to break all of the rules in the fashion industry. The firm shuns advertising and rarely runs sales. Also, in an industry where nearly every major player outsources manufacturing to low-cost countries, Zara is highly vertically integrated, keeping huge swaths of its production process in-house. These counterintuitive moves are part of a recipe for success that’s beating the pants off the competition and has catapulted Ortega to become the world’s third richest man, ahead of Warren Buffet.
Figure 3.1
Zara’s operations are concentrated in Spain, but they have stores around the world like these in Manhattan and Shanghai.

The firm tripled in size between 1996 and 2000, and then its revenue skyrocketed from $2.43 billion in 2001 to more than $20 billion in 2012. ...

Trusses are …
• Structures designed to support loads:
− Will transmit loads through the joints of the structure
− Will ultimately transmit loads to the foundation
• Cost effective in design because:
− Weight is minimized (weight of members is typically
light compared to loads carried, so it is often
neglected)
− Strength to weight ratio is maximized
Image copyright 2013, Pearson Education, publishing as Prentice Hall
Working with Trusses:
Assumptions
• All loads are applied / transmitted at joints
• All members are joined by pin connections
• Consist entirely of two-force members
(review section 5.4)
• Can contain zero-force members
Image copyright 2013, Pearson Education, publishing as Prentice Hall
Zero-force Members
What are zero-force members?
• Structural members that carry no force
Why do we use them?
• Used to provide stability
– During construction
– If (intermittent) loading of the truss changes
• Shortens chord length and increases
buckling capacity of compression members

HW 2 - SQL The database you will use for this assignme.docxwellesleyterresa
HW 2 - SQL
The database you will use for this assignment contains information related to Major League
Baseball (MLB) about players, teams, and games. The relations are:
Players(playerID, playerName, team, position, birthYear)
● playerID is a player identifier used in MLB, and all players throughout the history of
baseball have a unique ID
● playerName is player’s name
● team is the name of the MLB team the player is currently playing on (or the last team the
player played for if they are not currently playing)
● position is the position of the player
● birthYear is the year that player was born
Teams(teamID, teamName, home, leagueName)
● teamID is a unique ID internal to MLB.
● teamName is the name of the team
● home is the home city of the team
● leagueName is the league the team is in, i.e. either “National” or “American”, which
stands for “National League” and “American League”, respectively
Games(gameID, homeTeamID, guestTeamID, date)
● gameID is a unique ID used internally in MLB
● homeTeamID is the ID of the hometeam
● guestTeamID is the ID of the visiting team
● date is the date of the game.
A sample instance of this database is given at the end of this homework handout. Since it is just
one instance of the database designed to give you some intuition, you should not “customize”
your answer to work only with this instance.
1. (10 points each) Write the following queries in SQL, using the schema provided
above. (Note: Your queries must not be “state-dependent", that is, they should work without
modification even if another instance of the database is given.)
(a) Print the names of all players who were born in 1970 and played for the Braves.
(b) Print the names of teams that do not have a pitcher.
(c) Print names of all players who have played in the National League.
(d) Print all gameIDs with Phillies as the home team.
2. (15 points each) Write the following queries in SQL, using the schema provided
above.
(a) Print all teamIDs where the team played against the Phillies but not against the Braves.
(b) Print all tuples (playerID1, playerID2, team) where playerID1 and playerID2 are (or have
been) on the same team. Avoid listing self-references or duplicates, e.g. do not allow
(1,1,”Braves”) or both (2,5,”Phillies”) and (5,2,”Phillies”).
(c) Print all tuples (teamID1, league1, teamID2, league2, date) where teamID1 and teamID2
played against each other in a World Series game. Although there is no direct information
about the World Series games in the relations, we can infer that when two teams from different
leagues play each other, it is a World Series game. So, in this relation, league1 and league2
should be different leagues.
(d) List all cities that have a team in all leagues. For example, there are currently two leagues
(National and American). Although not shown in this instance, New York is home to the Mets in

HURRICANE KATRINA A NATION STILL UNPREPARED .docxwellesleyterresa
HURRICANE KATRINA:
A NATION STILL UNPREPARED
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
REPORT OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND
SECURITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS
MAY 2006
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Hurricane Katrina was an extraordinary act of nature that spawned a human
tragedy. It was the most destructive natural disaster in American history, laying waste to
90,000 square miles of land, an area the size of the United Kingdom. In Mississippi, the
storm surge obliterated coastal communities and left thousands destitute. New Orleans
was overwhelmed by flooding. All told, more than 1500 people died. Along the Gulf
Coast, tens of thousands suffered without basic essentials for almost a week.
But the suffering that continued in the days and weeks after the storm passed did
not happen in a vacuum; instead, it continued longer than it should have because of – and
was in some cases exacerbated by – the failure of government at all levels to plan,
prepare for and respond aggressively to the storm. These failures were not just
conspicuous; they were pervasive. Among the many factors that contributed to these
failures, the Committee found that there were four overarching ones: 1) long-term
warnings went unheeded and government officials neglected their duties to prepare for a
forewarned catastrophe; 2) government officials took insufficient actions or made poor
decisions in the days immediately before and after landfall; 3) systems on which officials
relied on to support their response efforts failed, and 4) government officials at all levels
failed to provide effective leadership. These individual failures, moreover, occurred
against a backdrop of failure, over time, to develop the capacity for a coordinated,
national response to a truly catastrophic event, whether caused by nature or man-made.
The results were tragic loss of life and human suffering on a massive scale, and an
undermining of confidence in our governments’ ability to plan, prepare for, and respond

Effective response to mass emergencies is a critical role of every level of
government. It is a role that requires an unusual level of planning, coordination and
dispatch among governments’ diverse units. Following the terrorist attacks of 9/11, this
country went through one of the most sweeping reorganizations of federal government in
history. While driven primarily by concerns of terrorism, the reorganization was designed
to strengthen our nation’s ability to address the consequences of both natural and man-
made disasters. In its first major test, this reorganized system failed. Katrina revealed
that much remains to be done.
The Committee began this investigation of the preparations for and response to
Hurricane Katrina within two weeks of the hurricane’s landfall on the Gulf Coast. The
tragic loss of life and human suffering in Katrina’s wake would have been sufficient in
themselves to compel the Commit ...

Genesis Myth
“And God created man in His own image, in the image of God he created male and female. He created them. And God blessed them.” (Leonard, Mcclure, 87) Unfortunately, the sentiment that men and women are equals is contradicted several times in the Genesis myth. The Genesis myth has had a negative influence on women’s roles in society that continually have impacts in today’s modern world. The myth describes women’s purpose as being subservient to men, women are easily swayed and manipulated, and that for seeking knowledge, women deserve the painful shame of childbirth. This patriarchal creation myth has played a role in justifying the suppression of equal rights throughout history and is still debated today.
To begin, the sole reason for the creation of woman ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

How to Make and Install a Window Curtain If you have basi.docx
1. How to Make and Install a Window Curtain
If you have basic sewing knowledge and access to a sewing
machine, you can make a simple curtain in a short
amount of time. Curtains make a big difference in the "look" of
a room, adding color and style to your decor.
Once the curtain is made, it's easy to hang it just where you
want it. With these simple step-by-step
instructions, you can: (1) measure your window and purchase
the appropriate type and amount of fabric; (2)
sew a simple curtain; and (3) install the curtain on your
window.
Equipment and Supplies
As in any project, it helps to know what equipment and supplies
you are going to need before you get started.
To make the curtain, you will need the following some
equipment and supplies.
First, you'll need the following tools:
2. Also, you'll need these sewing items:
To install a curtain inside the window frame, all you will need
is a spring-tension curtain rod. To hang the
curtain on the wall outside of the window frame, you will need
these items:
-style curtain rod and its brackets
3. Preparing to Sew the Curtain
You're probably ready to start sewing right away, but there are
some preliminary things you need to do first.
Note: Since the size of the window determines the amount of
material you will need, measure the window
before you buy the material.
Before you can sit down at your sewing machine and begin to
sew, you must:
1. Decide what type of curtain rod you want to use.
2. Measure the window.
3. Purchase the curtain fabric and rod.
4. Cut the curtain piece out of the fabric.
Deciding what type of curtain rod to use. A simple curtain can
be hung with a cafe-style curtain rod or a spring-
tension rod. Mounting a spring-tension rod does not require any
hardware and installs the curtain inside the
window frame. A cafe-style curtain rod must be hung with
brackets that are affixed to the wall-side of the
window frame and hangs the curtain outside of the window
frame, against the wall. So, before you go any
further, decide where on the window you want the curtain to
hang and what kind of curtain rod you'll need to
do that.
Measuring the window. The measurements you take here will
determine the success or failure of your curtain
4. making project. Remember the old saying: measure twice, cut
once! Refer to the diagram below as you
measure your window in the following manner:
1. Get your pencil, paper, and measuring tape.
2. Decide how long or short you want the curtain to be.
3. Measure the width of the window. For a curtain that will fit
inside the window frame, measure from
the inside of one corner to the inside of the other corner. For a
curtain that fits outside the window
frame, measure between the points outside the window frame
where you want the curtain.
4. Write down your measurement in inches.
5. Measure the desired length of your curtain against the
window.
6. Write down your measurement in inches.
Purchasing the fabric and curtain rod. Now it's time to go to the
fabric store and purchase your curtain rod and
material. Since you will probably have your curtain for a long
time, make sure you purchase a color and design
pattern of material that you really like.
Notes:
1. Some types of fabrics do not make good curtains. I
recommend that you purchase drapery fabric for
your curtain. Although it costs a little more than regular fabric,
the investment in a material that will
hang correctly and look good is well worth the extra expense.
Drapery fabric also comes in widths wide
5. enough to allow for making curtains out of one piece of fabric,
without having to seam the curtain.
2. Consider purchasing a little more material than you will
actually need. This gives you some leeway in
working with the material, in case you make a mistake in
cutting out the curtain or want extra material
to make matching accessories.
To determine how much material you need:
1. Get your pencil, paper, and calculator.
2. Multiply the width of the window (W) times 3 (Wx3). Write
down your measurement.
3. Add 8 inches to the length (L) of the finished curtain to allow
enough material to make the casing and
hem (L+8). Write down your measurement.
4. Convert your measurements to yards by dividing each by 36
inches per yard. For example: (L+8)/36 =
the length of the curtain in yards (L') , and (Wx3)/36 the width
of the of curtain in yards (W'). Write
down your measurements.
5. Go to the fabric store and purchase at least W' yards of
material, making sure the material is at least L'
yards wide.
6. Purchase a cafe-style curtain rod for a outer window frame
curtain, or a spring-tension rod for an inner
window frame curtain, making sure the rod is longer than the
width of your window (W).
6. Cutting out the curtain pieces. Most likely, the material you
purchased is larger than the piece you need to
make the curtain. Although you can purchase a curtain pattern,
a simple design such as the one these
instructions describe doesn't require a pattern. Again, let me
remind you to measure twice, cut once! Follow
these steps to cut out your curtain:
1. Lay the material out on your work table, wrong side up,
making sure to smooth out all of the wrinkles.
2. Measure the width of the curtain with your tape measure
(W'), marking the edge of that width with
pins or a fabric marker.
3. Measure the length of the curtain piece (L'), also marking the
edge with pins or a marker.
4. Check your measurements.
5. Cut out the curtain piece along the pins and/or markings.
Sewing the Curtain
After all that preparation, it's finally time to start sewing.
Remember that the wrong side of a fabric is that side
which you don't want to show. The fabric design and pattern are
not as attractive on the wrong side, as well.
There are three steps involved in sewing your curtain: (1)
setting up your equipment, (2) making the curtain
casing, and (3) hemming the curtain.
Setting up your equipment. It's important to have everything
7. ready to go before you start to sew. To get ready,
do the following:
interruptions.
he iron at the
proper setting for your curtain fabric.
with your chosen thread.
Caution: Be careful not to burn your fingers with the hot iron
while ironing the fabric.
Sewing the casing. The casing will form the part of the curtain
that fits over the rod. To make the casing:
1. Turn down the top edge of the fabric 1 inch along its entire
length, wrong side to wrong side, pressing
the fabric with the iron as you go, until the fabric stays down by
itself.
2. Turn down the same edge another 2 inches, with the right
side of the previous turned- down edge
against the wrong side of the fabric, again pressing the fabric
with the iron as you go, until the fabric
stays folded by itself.
3. Pin along lower folded edge.
4. Sew along pinned edge.
Hemming the sides and bottom of the curtain. If you want your
8. curtain to have a finished, professional look,
you must hem the sides and bottom. Follow these steps to hem
the sides of the curtain:
1. Fold the edges of the fabric in 1 inch along each side, wrong
side to wrong side, pressing the fabric
with the iron as you go, until the fabric stays down by itself.
2. Turn each side edge in another 2 inches, with the right side
of the previous turned-in edge against the
wrong side of the fabric, again pressing the fabric with the iron
as you go, until the fabric stays folded
by itself.
3. Pin along folded edges.
4. Sew along pinned edges.
Now, follow these steps to hem the bottom of the curtain:
1. Fold the bottom edge of the fabric up 1 inch, wrong side to
wrong side, pressing the fabric with the
iron as you go, until the fabric stays down by itself.
2. Turn the bottom edge up another 4 inches, with the right side
of the previous turned-in edge against
the wrong side of the fabric, again pressing the fabric with the
iron as you go, until the fabric stays
folded by itself.
3. Pin along folded edges.
4. Sew along pinned edges.
9. Take a look at your beautiful new curtain. The only thing left to
do now is to hang it up.
Installing the Curtain Rod and Hanging the Curtain
The way you install the curtain rod will greatly affect the look
of your new curtain. After all the effort you put
into making the curtain, you don't want it to hang crooked or
fall down.
Note: If you're mounting the curtain rod outside the window
frame on a part of the wall that is not backed by a
wooden stud, I strongly recommend that you use molly bolts
instead of screws to affix the brackets. This will
prevent the curtain rod brackets from pulling out of the wall.
Using molly bolts. A molly bolt is a type of fastener used to
hang on object on wallboard (sheetrock) that has
open space behind it. A molly bolt consists of 3 pieces: a screw,
a washer, and a metal or plastic sleeve that fits
over the screw. The sleeve is open at both ends, slightly larger
than the screw, and has a flat, nail-like head.
The middle part of the sleeve is not solid, but made of 4 wavy
metal strips that are continuous with the solid
ends of the sleeve. The inside of the sleeve is threaded to fit the
screw, and the washer fits between the
screwhead and the metal sleeve. The sleeve is inserted into a
properly-sized hole in the wall. As the screw is
screwed into the sleeve, the metal strips of the sleeve expand
behind the wallboard, shortening and thickening
the sleeve to provide a large area of contact between the sleeve
and wall holding the screw firmly in place.
Note: Make sure you really want that molly bolt where you're
10. putting it, because once it's in, the sleeve can't
be removed without making a large hole in the wall.
To use a molly bolt:
1. Drill a hole that is slightly smaller than the metal sleeve at
the desired location.
2. Insert the sleeve into the hole.
3. Place the curtain rod bracket over the hole.
4. Put the washer on the screw and screw the screw into the
metal sleeve.
Installing the curtain rod. Installing a curtain rod need not be
difficult or time consuming. If you choose to use a
spring-tension rod, all you have to do is push the ends of the
rod together until the rod is short enough to fit
inside the window frame, put the rod inside the frame, then let
the rod expand until it fits snugly against each
side of the window. To install a cafe-style curtain rod, gather
these tools:
11. Now you're ready to put up the curtain rod by following these
steps:
1. Hold one of the brackets against the wall where you want the
edge of the curtain, and mark the holes
in the bracket on the wall with a pencil.
2. Pre-drill the marked holes.
3. Insert molly bolt sleeves if you are using these instead of
plain screws.
4. Place the bracket against the wall and insert the screws into
the holes or molly bolt sleeves.
5. Use the screwdriver to screw the screws into the wall .
6. Measure the distance of the bracket from the edge of the
frame, and them down.
7. Repeat steps 1-5, making sure to place the second bracket the
same distance from the edge of the
window as the first bracket.
8. Hang the rod on the brackets, using the level to test for
crookedness.
9. Hang the curtain if the rod is level, or remove the second
bracket and repeat step 7 if the rod is too
crooked.
Hanging the curtain. Now you're ready for the last and easiest
step of all, hanging your beautiful new curtain.
Just follow these steps:
12. 1. Insert the curtain rod into the casing at the top of the curtain.
2. Gather the much-wider curtain along the rod until the rod-
ends are visible at either end of the curtain.
3. Hang the curtain and rod up on the window.
4. Arrange your curtain along the length of the rod so that it
gathers evenly.
Now that you've finished hanging your curtain, take a moment
to look around the room. You'll notice that it
looks completely different. Window curtains pull the decor of a
room together, softening the edges of the
window and making the room a more pleasant place to be. Give
yourself a big pat on the back for taking the
time to make your curtain, then relax with a cup of tea while
you plan your next home decorating project!

How to Raise Potatoes in a Home Garden
If you like tender, juicy potatoes, home-grown are definitely the
best. Although the plant of the potato is
visible above the ground, the end product is found below the
soil. The process from preparing to eating can
take as long as 3-4 months, but the results will be worth the
wait. Gardening experts agree that the best time
for potato planting is about a month before the last spring frost.
This time period will allow the potato to
emerge from the soil after freezing conditions but be harvested
before the extreme heat of summer. Although
this vegetable can be purchased rather cheaply in the
supermarket, the quality of home-grown potatoes far
exceeds those bagged on grocery shelves.
The production of potatoes can be divided into these steps: (1)
preparing the soil, (2) preparing the potatoes,
(3) planting the potatoes, (4) maintaining the plants, and (5)
harvesting the potatoes.
Tools and Supplies
18. To complete the entire project you will need the following
tools:
A tiller is a gas-powered machine that can break up, mulch, and
aerate soil with deep-cutting blades that
extend deep into the ground. Tillers are useful in small gardens
over one-hundred square feet. A typical tiller is
somewhat larger than a gas-powered lawn mower and requires a
larger, more powerful engine than do typical
lawn mowers. Its most important components are its blades,
usually measuring 24 to 36 inches across, that
turn in a circular motion digging down into the soil with a
continuous motion. Gas-powered tillers make
preparing a garden much easier, faster, and less back-breaking
than doing so by hand with a shovel or hoe. You
guide the tiller along in front of you and set the depth that the
blades will cut into the soil. You make several
cuts through the soil to fully turn it over and aereate it. A
garden tiller can also be attached to the rear of a
small tractor. This type of tiller provides satisfactory results but
may pose some difficulty in controlling the
direction.
You will need to purchase the following:
19. Preparing the Soil
Although potatoes can be raised in virtually any type of soil,
best results can be achieved in loam which is a red
clay, sandy combination. Once the garden plot has been
selected, the following steps will utilize the best
growing conditions: (1) clearing the land, (2) loosening the soil,
and (3) digging the holes.
1. Clearing the land of all debris and plants will improve growth
of your potatoes. Best results can be
achieved if all debris and previous growth is removed from the
area. It is suggested that raking the
entire plot will prove beneficial as the plants start to grow.
2. Loosening the soil will allow the potatoes to develop into
healthy plants. Although a hoe and rake will
provide satisfactory results, the job will be much easier with the
use of a gas-powered tiller. These can
20. be rented from local equipment rental facilities.
3. Digging the holes correctly will enable the potatoes to grow
above and below the ground. Although
there is some difference in varieties, most potatoes should be
planted from 3-5 inches below the
ground. These holes can be dug with a hoe in a long trench or
individual holes.
Preparing the Potatoes
Although any type of potato can be used for planting, best
results can be achieved with the purchase of
certified seed potatoes from a local nursery. After securing the
potatoes, they can be prepared for planting by
(1) cutting into pieces and (2) sprouting the eyes.
1. Cutting the potatoes can be achieved with a small, sharp
knife. Cut the seed potato into several pieces
making sure each piece as at least one eye and a large piece of
the potato.
Note: It is important to include at least one eye on the planting
portion since the new potato will grow
from the eye. The first food for the plant will be derived from
the portion of potato.
2. Sprouting the eyes will provide better results for future
plants. Lay the pieces out on flat or shallow
trays and allow them to sit in a sunny, airy place for several
21. weeks until the eyes sprout. These sprouts
will be dark green and closely clustered in the eye.
Planting the Potatoes
Once the soil has been prepared and the potatoes have sprouted,
you are ready to put them into the ground.
This procedure is extremely important to the success of your
future crop. The planting can be divided into
these steps: (1) inserting the potatoes, (2) covering the potatoes
and (3) giving the potatoes a boost.
1. Inserting the potatoes correctly will insure the emergence of
your plant. Place a small segment of the
sprouted seed potato in your previously dug trench or hole.
Place one piece of potato every 12 inches.
Make sure the eye of the potato is facing up to direct the plant
out of the soil.
2. Covering the potatoes with sufficient loose soil will enable
the plant to emerge successfully from the
soil. If the trench or hold has been dug to the correct depth, you
should be able to cover each potato
piece with approximately 3 inches of surrounding loose soil.
3. Giving your planted potatoes a boost with water and fertilizer
will start them off on the right track.
Since the eyes are already sprouted, water and fertilizer will
allow for the continued growth of the
plant toward the surface of the soil. Sprinkle lightly with
22. commercial fertilizer or manure and then
water each location thoroughly.
Maintaining the Crop
Although the potatoes are now in the ground, it is important to
follow some simple procedures to guarantee
the success of your potato yield. This is a crop with a fairly
long growing period, so maintenance of the garden
will ensure success. The steps for maintenance include: (1)
weeding the plants, (2) fertilizing the plants, (3)
controlling insects, and (4) watering when necessary.
1. Weeding the plants should be done on a regular basis. Use a
sharp-pointed hoe to chop out the foreign
weeds. Removal of the chopped weeds will ensure that they do
not start to grow again.
Warning: The vines of the potato can grow freely along the
ground. Be careful not to damage the
growing plant.
2. Fertilizing the plants of the potato can ensure growth above
and below the ground. The type of soil will
determine the correct fertilizer to be used. A local nursery can
provide the information you need.
3. Controlling insects in your potato garden will enable your
23. plants to continue growing. There is an all-
purpose potato dust or spray that can be purchased to control
most bugs that will damage this
vegetable.
4. Watering the plants may be necessary if there is not
sufficient rainfall. Keep a water hose nearby to
water whenever the plants seem dry. This will become even
more important as the summer months
get hotter.
Harvesting the Potatoes
After several months of anticipation, your potatoes should be
carefully observed to determine if they are
ready to be harvested. Because your crop should provide
potatoes for many meals to come, it is important to
finalize your project with the following procedures for
harvesting: (1) determining correct time of harvest, (2)
removing potatoes from the ground, and (3) storing the potatoes
for extended use.
1. Determining the time of harvest will depend upon several
factors. When the vines have completely
died down, the potatoes below the ground will no longer grow.
You may also check the size of your
potatoes by digging up in various spots throughout your garden.
2. Removing potatoes from the ground will be hard work but
very rewarding. Very carefully dig up a large
24. area of earth around each vine using a spading fork. Turn over
the soil and carefully remove the
potatoes from the soil. Allow the potatoes to dry completely.
3. Storing the potatoes for extended use will allow you to enjoy
them for many months to come. The best
environment for storing potatoes is a cool, dark place with
plenty of air. Slat crates are much better
than solid boxes or bins.
Warning: Potatoes that have been dug up should not be exposed
to the sun any longer than is
necessary to remove dirt. The sun will make the potatoes
acquire an unpleasant flavor.
Although the process of raising potatoes is a time-consuming,
lengthy procedure, the results can be very
satisfying. Not only can you enjoy the benefits for many
months, you may also be able to share your harvest
with friends and neighbors.

How to Have a Good Time in Las Vegas
If you feel like recently you haven't had any excitement in your
life, a good weekend in Las
Vegas is sure to spice up your boring life. There is plenty to do
in Vegas, from: shopping,
drinking, clubbing, going to shows, and walking the strip
looking for a suitable hookup for the
weekend. I would advise on this trip that you do not gamble, as
the trip is already very 't)
expensive, and gambling under the influence is a good way to
go brokeThe fun that Vegas has
to offer requires a full weekend, so clear your schedule and
gather your closest friends for one of
the best weekends of your life.
The Vegas experience can be divided into these steps: l) gather
friends and drive to Vegas, 2)
get hotel room and start drinking, 3) go out clubbing 4) wake up
and get food 5) go shopping or
swimming (optional) 6) see a show such as Cirque du Soleil 7)
go back out clubbing, unless you
have already found a suitable mate to take back to the room 8)
26. end the night by finishing all
remaining alcohol and other drugs. 9) head home
Tools and Supnlies:
-Car
-Cash (remember to get singles too)
-Credit Card
-Alcohol (As much as you feel you need) tln-r"^,b3 .rp I
-At least 1 ounce of Kuslrt(or less you're new to the game)
-Smoking utensil (I prefer bong)
-At least Yz owce of Psilocybin Mushrooms
-Any other drugs you feel necessary to get you through the
weekend hu)o

Gather X'riends:
2 Make sure all friends have pitched in for gas, alcohol and
other drugs. Once you have all the
supplies you need, you can begin driving out to Vegas. I would
suggest leaving Friday moming
so you avoid the evening traffic and have time to enjoy Friday
night in Vegas.
Get Hotel Room and Let the Pre-eame Beein:
27. The first step in your adventure is to get a hotel room. Ideally
you would have made a
reservation in advance, but if no$should be able to find a room
although selections will be
limited. In choosing where to stayfl am an advocate for getting
a more expensive room for two
qhtun?'
reasons. One, you can save money when you're dead. Two, it
will make you more attractive to
your potential hookup buddy which is a definite plus.
Personally, my favorite hotel to stay at is
Manjalay Bay. They have pools to swim in where you can order
food in the morning ygule 2
)d,ttu"g over and there are plenty of cute girls by the pools.
Once you get to your room; its
'g*rr"time, let the party begin!
Go F'ridav Night Clubbine:
Start the weekend right by attending some of the many clubs in
Las Vegas. Make sure you have
consumed enough alcohol and marijuana to keep you on a
sufficientbuzzto last you the night.
You can always buy more alcohol but leave the Kush at home.
Once you hit the clubs,
immediately start scouting the room for some babes to bring
back to the room. The great thing
about Vegas is that even if you can't find a mate for the night,
28. there are many strip clubs that you
can visit to have your needs met. Make sure to bring your
singles!
Wake Up and Get Food:
When you finally stumble back to your room Saturday morning,
try to get a couple of hours of
sleep. When you wake up you will be hung over, so you're going
to need to eat something. If
you're at the Mandalay Bay, all you need to do is head out to
the pool and order pool side from a
cabana. This presents another possibility to look for a potential
hookup buddy if you struck out
and had to pay for a lap dance the previous night.
Shop/Swim/llan:
While the nightlife in Vegas is great, there is plenty to do
during the day as well. If you need to
upgrade your wardrobe, there are plenty of stores on the Vegas
strip. If you're not looking to
spend the day shopping, you can always stay at the pool to
swim. If neither of these appeal to
you, a good nap is a solid idea as well.
Cirque du Soleil:
After you finish up your shopping, swimming or napping, it's
time to get ready to go see Cirque
du Soleil. You will need to eat some Psilocybin Mushrooms to
enhance the show. Trust me, it is
definitely worth it. You might want to have a sober friend go
with to babysit all users of the
29. mushrooms, because you may not be acting rationally.
{tf$hAl
Go Back gut Clubbine or Finish offthe Niehtwith a Partv in vour
Room:
So your final night you can either go out to a club, or if you
already have a mate for the night
you may just want to have aparty in your room. Both are
excellent decisions, and the goal of the
night is to finish offall remaining drugs you brought. Enjoy!
